Zechariah 1:8 in Context — Zechariah 1

6 Cependant mes paroles et les ordres que j’avais donnés à mes serviteurs, les prophètes, n’ont-ils pas atteint vos pères? Ils se sont retournés, et ils ont dit: L’Éternel des armées nous a traités comme il avait résolu de le faire selon nos voies et nos actions.

7 Le vingt-quatrième jour du onzième mois, qui est le mois de Schebat, la seconde année de Darius, la parole de l’Éternel fut adressée à Zacharie, fils de Bérékia, fils d’Iddo, le prophète, en ces mots:

8 Je regardai pendant la nuit, et voici, un homme était monté sur un cheval roux, et se tenait parmi des myrtes dans un lieu ombragé; il y avait derrière lui des chevaux roux, fauves, et blancs.

9 Je dis: Qui sont ces chevaux, mon seigneur? Et l’ange qui parlait avec moi me dit: Je te ferai voir qui sont ces chevaux.

10 L’homme qui se tenait parmi les myrtes prit la parole et dit: Ce sont ceux que l’Éternel a envoyés pour parcourir la terre.
